My name is Brad. I am a writer, I am awkward in social situations, and I spend a lot of time in coffee shops trying to escape all of the terribly distracting things I find at home (video games, movies, tv, cats, comics, vitamin water, robots, etc.). I rotate amongst local coffee shops throughout the week so that no single location becomes too familiar with my presence. Spending any appreciable amount of time in one place is bound to make you privy to the occasional odd situation, but I have come to believe that coffee shops are breeding grounds for weird. The following is my account of the wonderfully weird and horribly awkward situations I have encountered.

What Came First, The Guinea Pig or The Cage?

A Teacher sat with Another Teacher discussing her class pet, which was a guinea pig…

Teacher: “Guinea pigs are from South America.”
Another Teacher: “Oh that’s weird. They’re actually from somewhere? I just thought they were some sort of domesticated something.”

The conversation abruptly changed topics after that.

Hopefully something coffee related...
